In spite of the extreme grief over the martyrdom of the 21 Egyptian Copts in Libya, we are so happy for them.
They were victims of both poverty and terrorism. They had only pain in their lives, but gain glory in heaven and on earth. They became glorious martyrs in our church and many churches should be built on their holy names.
Now, we should remember them forever as great martyrs in our church who got the better life in heaven.
Their poverty should be turned into riches, and their simple lives should teach many people all over the world. Even the Egyptian state, which has never avenged the murder of her citizens in smiler attacks, has sent fighters to avenge their murder in Libya. Their simple houses should be visited by millions of people who want to take their blessings.
Our grieve has gone away after we saw their faith and peace demonstrated in the video of their martyrdom. In fact, God has granted power for them as well as their families. Praise the Lord for his great mercy.
However ISIS has published many horrifying videos, these videos are very important for the history since nobody can forge the history with these videos.
We can't return those martyrs to our world, but those killers may wake up and repent as human beings. Saul of Tarsus knew Christ and became great saint in the church after he had used to kill the Christians. Who knows? We may hear the Lord one day saying: ISIS, ISIS, Why do you persecute me!
